After the wholly unsurprising, but still-good-to-hear news yesterday that HTC is producing a stock Android, 'Nexus' version of the HTC One for Google, HTC also let slip that it's looking at giving early adopters (read people who have already bought Ones) a taste of stock Android too. Read More >>
If a 4.3-inch phone is considered "mini", god help us all. Samsung's just announced that the Galaxy S4 Mini is real, and it's still bigger than an iPhone 5. In fact, last year it would be considered mid-range, but compared to the 5-inch monsters we have now, 4.3-inches is small, I guess. Read More >>

New rumours regarding the forthcoming Samsung Galaxy Note III have appeared, with a Korean news site claiming we'll see a 13-Megapixel sensor in Samsung's next monster mobile, along with an optical image stabilisation system to counteract your excited/nervous shakes. And as Samsung has an event planned in London for June, perhaps we'll see it then? [ET News via Engadget] Read More >>
After firing out the white Nexus 4 into the ether, it seems LG's not gotten the nod from Google for the fabled Nexus 5, which begs the question: Who's making Google's next iconic phone? Read More >>
LG just spat out the white Nexus 4. Unfortunately, other than the white skin on the back, there's nothing different about it compared the black version. No Android 4.3, no LTE, no MicroSD slot. Still, it looks pretty in white, although from the front you wouldn't even know it wasn't all-black on the back. Available from May 29th starting in Hong Kong and eventually rolling out to markets world-wide over the next few weeks. Read More >>

The HTC First, the disastrous Zucker-HTC mashup that's crashed and burned in the States, has had its UK launch delayed indefinitely. They're not even going to fulfil the three pre-orders that were placed. It was scheduled to come to the UK 'exclusively' with EE in the next few months, but now I guess Facebook addicts will have to click two extra buttons or install Facebook Home to get their stalking fill. The horror. Read More >>
When a band of engineers fled Nokia in 2012 to develop a MeeGo-derived OS called Sailfish, they needed a vehicle to carry the software. And this is it: the first Jolla phone, which is as quirky as the OS it runs. Read More >>

While you are hanging out on the Internet (in your underwear, maybe?) on a Sunday, kids that are smarter than either you or I are out there getting ready to change the world. 18-year-old Eesha Khare (left), for example, not only invented a supercapacitor that could someday be a phone battery that charges in a handful of seconds; she also won £32,500 for it.

I'm not sure if it's actually better looking in white or not, but apparently Android and Me has one physically in hand. The white Nexus 4 is supposedly a carbon-copy of the black version we know and love, just with a white body and Android 4.3 (no LTE mentioned). Take with a pinch of sodium chloride for now, but surely everyone who's likely to want a Nexus 4 has already bought one? [Android and Me] Read More >>
Nokia's just unveiled the Lumia 925, and while you might have thought it's just a UK version of the Lumia 928 that our US cousins are getting, it's so much more. Gone is the all-plastic traditional Lumia, subsumed by a much more refined feeling metal-polycarbonate mix. This thing looks and feels great. Read More >>

Nokia's just taken the wraps off its latest flagship Windows Phone. We've heard rumours of a PureView-packing beast, but confirming yesterday's leak it's the Lumia 925, an updated, metal-clad version of the Lumia 920, and it sure is a looker. Read More >>

Just like it's a really terrible time to buy a new laptop, it's also a really crappy time to sink hundreds of pounds and possibly years of your life into a new phone. So wait, trust me, it'll be better all round. Read More >>
